Can a Criminal Defense Lawyer Help with White Collar Crimes in New York?

If you’re facing charges related to white collar crimes in New York, you may be wondering – can a criminal defense lawyer really help me? The answer is a resounding YES. At Spodek Law Group, our team of experienced attorneys has a proven track record of successfully defending clients against even the most serious white collar crime allegations. We understand what’s at stake, and we’ll fight tirelessly to protect your rights, your freedom, and your future.

Understanding White Collar Crime

Before we dive into how our criminal defense lawyers can help, let’s take a moment to define what exactly “white collar crime” means. The term was coined back in 1939 and refers to financially motivated, nonviolent crimes typically committed by business and government professionals. Some common examples of white collar crimes include:

• Fraud (e.g. insurance fraud, securities fraud, tax fraud)
• Embezzlement
• Money laundering
• Bribery
• Insider trading
• Forgery
• Counterfeiting
• Identity theft

While these crimes are considered “nonviolent,” make no mistake – a conviction can still carry severe penalties, including hefty fines and lengthy prison sentences. That’s why it’s so critical to have a skilled defense attorney in your corner if you’ve been accused of a white collar offense.

How Our Criminal Defense Lawyers Can Help

At Spodek Law Group, our criminal defense attorneys bring decades of combined experience to the table. We’ve handled countless white collar crime cases over the years, and we know what it takes to secure the best possible outcome for our clients. Here are just a few of the ways we can help:

Conducting a Thorough Investigation

One of the first things we’ll do when you retain our services is conduct an exhaustive investigation into the allegations against you. We’ll review all of the evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to poke holes in the prosecution’s case. Our goal is to uncover any information that could be used to exonerate you or get the charges reduced.For example, let’s say you’ve been accused of embezzlement. We might look into whether there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication about how certain funds were supposed to be used. Perhaps you had permission from a supervisor to use the money in a certain way, but that wasn’t properly documented. By getting to the bottom of what really happened, we may be able to show that you didn’t have criminal intent.

Negotiating with Prosecutors

In many white collar crime cases, the best strategy is to negotiate with prosecutors for a reduced charge or sentence. This is where having an experienced defense lawyer can make all the difference. We’ve built relationships with prosecutors over the years, and we know how to effectively advocate for our clients.For instance, we might be able to negotiate a plea deal that allows you to avoid jail time in exchange for paying restitution and completing community service. Or, if the evidence against you is weak, we could push for the charges to be dismissed entirely. Every case is unique, but our attorneys have the skills and savvy to secure the most favorable outcome possible.

Providing Aggressive Courtroom Representation

If your case does end up going to trial, you can rest assured that you’ll have a fierce advocate in your corner. Our attorneys have extensive experience litigating white collar crime cases in both state and federal court. We know how to pick apart the prosecution’s arguments, present compelling defenses, and persuade a jury.We’ll leave no stone unturned in fighting for your acquittal. Whether it means challenging the admissibility of evidence, cross-examining witnesses, or delivering a powerful closing argument, we’ll do whatever it takes to secure a “not guilty” verdict.

Just had my Divorce case settled 2 months ago after having a horrible experience with another firm. I couldn’t be happier with Claire Banks and Elizabeth Garvey with their outstanding professionalism in doing so with Spodek Law Group. Any time I needed questions answered they were always prompt in doing so with all my uncertainties after 30 yrs of marriage.I feel from the bottom of my heart you will NOT be disappointed with either one. Thanks a million.

Alex Zhik contacted me almost immediately when I reached out to Spodek for a consultation and was able to effectively communicate the path forward/consequences of my legal issue. I immediately agreed to hire Alex for his services and did not regret my choice. He was able to cover my case in court (with 1 day notice) and not only was he able to push my case down, he carefully negotiated a dismissal of the charge altogether. I highly recommend Spodek, and more specifically, Alex Zhik for all of your legal issues. Thanks guys!

I don’t know where to start, I can write a novel about this firm, but one thing I will say is that having my best interest was their main priority since the beginning of my case which was back in Winter 2019. Miss Claire Banks, one of the best Attorneys in the firm represented me very well and was very professional, respectful, and truthful. Not once did she leave me in the dark, in fact she presented all options and routes that could possibly be considered for my case and she reinsured me that no matter what I decided to do, her and the team will have my back and that’s exactly what happened. Not only will I be liberated from this case, also, I will enjoy my freedom and continue to be a mother to my first born son and will have no restrictions with accomplishing my goals in life. Now that’s what I call victory!! I thank the Lord, My mother, Claire, and the Spodek team for standing by me and fighting with me. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to have the opportunity to work with this team. I’m very satisfied, very pleased with their performance, their hard work, and their diligence. Thank you team!

I can't recommend Alex Zhik and Spodek Law Firm highly enough for their exceptional legal representation and personal mentorship. From the moment I engaged their services in October 2022, Alex took the time to understand my case thoroughly and provided guidance every step of the way. Alex's dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to mentor me, ensuring I understood the legal complexities involved to make informed decisions. Alex is the kind of guy you would want to have a beer with and has made a meaningful impact on me. I also want to acknowledge Todd Spodek, the leader of the firm, who played a crucial role in my case. His leadership and support bolstered the efforts of Alex, and his involvement highlighted the firm's commitment to excellence. Thanks to Alex Zhik and Todd Spodek, I achieved the outcome I desired, and I am incredibly grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. If you're in need of legal representation, look no further than this outstanding team.
